Troy Chamber Trip to Dubai Now Leaving from Detroit—Free Info Meetings This Month

The following information was submitted by the Troy Chamber of Commerce.

The Troy Chamber of Commerce has negotiated with its travel company to make traveling to Dubai in March 2013 even easier. Group members will now fly out of Detroit Metropolitan Airport rather than the original Chicago departure location. In light of this new development, the Chamber has extended its early bird pricing until October 19.

“We are thrilled to make this trip even more convenient for our travelers,” said Troy Chamber Event Director Jaimi Brook. “Also, they will save additional travel time and money now that they will be leaving from Detroit.”

For as low as $2,195 per person, participants will enjoy deluxe accommodations, airfare, meals, a variety of attractions and more. The trip includes memorable sites, both ancient and modern, and the opportunity to enjoy a multitude of unforgettable cultural experiences. Travelers will even have an opportunity to ride a camel, dress in traditional Bedouin robes and sand surf.

“It’s not too late to join the adventure,” said Brook. “Taking advantage of early bird pricing by October 19 reduces your final cost by $200.”
